The side knobs tighten by hand so the display stays put when the boat is running in chop, but can still be re-aimed when sun angle or seating position changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracket-style bail mount for surface mounting GPSMAP 12x2 Series chartplotters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTilting cradle so the screen can be aimed toward the helm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand knobs for tool-free angle adjustment and re-tightening after vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks well on a flat dash, electronics box, or overhead console where flush mounting is not practical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit reference: commonly used with GPSMAP 1222, 1222xsv, and 1242xsv models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount is intended for GPSMAP 12x2 units that use the side bail-mount points and the wider, non-touch chassis. If your chartplotter is labeled Touch or Plus, confirm the case width and mounting pattern before ordering, since those models use different mounting options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for clearance so the unit can tilt without hitting the dash, grab rails, or a windshield frame, and leave space behind the display for power, network, and transducer connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the bracket to a solid, flat surface and through-bolt when possible. On thin panels or cored fiberglass, use a backing plate or large washers so the mount stays tight over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeal any new holes to keep water out of the console, and route cables with a drip loop so spray and washdowns do not run straight into the connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a practical choice for a center console, pilothouse dash, or sailboat nav station where the display needs to be angled for a seated and standing view. It also helps when more than one person shares the screen and you want quick angle changes without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse salt and grit off the knobs and hinge points as part of normal washdown, then re-tighten the knobs before getting underway. Periodically check the fasteners and mounting surface for looseness, especially after trailering or long runs in rough water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269259391157,"sku":"QBP845826","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299520_qbp845826.jpg?v=1771542887","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp845826","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
